Printed Circuit Board Layout is the final design stage before manufacture. Converting a schematic design to a PCB layout is as much an art as it is a science. Arketec can take a schematic design and turn it into a circuit board layout, with the option of a compact multilayer board or an economic two layer board. We can design PCBs of any size or shape, with any number of surface-mount or through-hole components.

We know what it takes to lay out a board to meet strict FCC emission standards, yet maintain signal integrity. We work closely with the PCB manufacturer through all stages of the manufacture and assembly process - from prototyping to production - to ensure a high quality and cost-effective solution.

Circuit Design and Schematic Capture

Schematic is the process of translating your requirements into a circuit. Arketec works with you to define a set of specifications and turn that into a complete design.

Many factors need to be taken into account when designing a circuit. Topics such as power supply requirements and signal conditioning so that the product can safely interact with its environment. Communication - wired or wireless? FCC or CE restrictions, and immunity from interference - these are all issues which need to be addressed, and areas in which Arketec have expertise.
